Wearing the wrong shoes could cause you more problems than you realize. Everyone's feet are not the same so they need to make sure that the shoes they wear fit your feet right.

Weak ankles
Weak ankles can cause even more problems. If you have weak ankles then by wearing very high heeled shoes your ankle could give way at any time, this often happens when walking on uneven ground. The worst part of rolling or twisting your ankle it will cause you excruciating pain at the time and this pain in some instances could carry on for many years if not treated right.
